Fantastic stay!

This place was absolutely fantastic, right from the moment of check in with Lacey, the booking of a day tour, the great food the restaurant had, excellent massages and room service. The room was simply great, very comfortable bed and bedding, with a great patio view of the sea.

Bocas town is not clean ( a lot of construction and road work), but this hotel is very clean and safe! I highly recommend staying here! The food is delicious ( make sure you sign up for the breakfast!), the pool is heavenly, and the staff are very welcoming and kind. I recommend an ocean view room if available; the porch is delightful. Rooms are spacious. The hotel is very conveniently located. 5 stars!

I love this property. The only thing I wish I could choose more than ocean view or town side. This room was on top of the restaurant so I could barely see the sea. I would have chosen a higher floor if I could have for a better view.

We had a beatiful room with a porch facing the street but with trees and foliage blocking the street for the most part. Nice comfortable chairs on the porch. Disappointed it didn't face the water but after talking to others I think we got a better room. Room was beautiful with little kitchen. No microwave which would have been nice but a stove. Staff were great. Lovely bar and pool area overlooking the ocean.
